Fujifilm X-Pro2 Sports Photography Detailed Analysis
Fast Continuous Shooting: 8.0fps

In the world of sports photography, faster is always better.

Environmental Sealings

Most outdoor sports games are held in all-weather, so your camera has to be ready for difficult conditions such as rain and snow. Exposure to dust and water splashes are also very common in sports.

Fast Max shutter speed: 1/8000s

Fujifilm X-Pro2's 1/8000s shutter speed is fast enough to freeze any almost all sports action and is also helpful when you use a fast lens at largest aperture under bright sunlight.

273 Focus Points

In sports photography , you keep continuous autofocus (AFC) mode on for tracking the subject and more focus means better tracking.

Good Low Light ISO

A good high ISO performance is very important in sports photography in order to have a fast shutter speed.

Wireless Connection

It may not be used by everyone but pro sports photographers use Wi-fi to transfer files simultaneously without having to wait to change the memory card.

Electronic and Optical Built-in Viewfinder

During a sports shoot, using a viewfinder allows the photographer to stabilize the camera and reduce the camera shake since it is closer to the body. Besides, it comes handy where LCD screens are very hard to read under bright sunlight.

Average Ergonomics&Handling

although not as good as a DSLR body, Fujifilm X-Pro2 is good enough for most conditions.

No Image Stabilization

Due to the lack of sensor based Image stabilization, Fujifilm X-Pro2 users have to rely on lenses with optical IS in order to maximize the sharpness of their sports photography photos. Currently there are native Fujifilm X mount lenses with Image Stabilization for Fujifilm X-Pro2.
